  2. I think Queen Elizabeth I was called 'THE GOOD QUEEN BESS' because she fought the Spanish Armada and made Britain more powerful than Spain.

    3. She was in fact called Good Queen Bess. This was an affectionate nickname the country had for her, showing their support. Elizabeth was known to be brave, and to have a sense of humor, and both of these endeared her to the common populace, who called her this informally, showing both approval and a kind of identification.

  4. The affectionate name the country had for her 'Good Queen Bess' was because it was how the conutry identified her as being brave and having a sense of humour.

    Henry VIII nickname for Queen Elizabeth I was "Bessie" which is where the endearment 'Good Queen Bess' came from.

    Elizabeth encouraged her troops with a notable speech, known as the Speech to the Troops at Tilbury, in which she famously declared, "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a King, and of a King of England too! And I think it foul scorn that Spain or Parma or any prince of Europe should dare invade the borders of my realm". Thus the legend of Good Queen Bess was born.

    Also, in many biographies of the Tudor family including, but not limited to King Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, it is recorded that Henry's nickname for Elizabeth was "Bessie" which may be where the term of endearment "Good Queen Bess" originated.
